Postgame: Nikita Yikesev

Well, not the happiest of outcomes in Toronto tonight. Boston came into the Scotiabank Arena and well, they won. Against a third-string goal and as the result of a brutal turnover, but even in a game where the Leafs controlled play for extended stretches, couldn’t get more than two past Tuukka Rask.

1st period

Brad Marchand missed an open net about three seconds into the opening shift, and it seemed like things might actually swing in the Leafs’ favour. However, it was just the sign of things to come.
